4-year-old story time - The Little Things

Next date: Monday, 13 May 2024 | 11:15 AM to 12:00 PM

4-5 year old pre-schoolers and families are invited to join local children’s author Penny Harrison for a special nature story time to celebrate Neighbourhood House Week. You'll hunt for small treasures in the garden and craft a cute selection of creepie crawlies.

Parents are required to supervise their children at all times. 

This is a free Neighbourhood House Week activity.

Everyone is welcome! Please register to let us know you’re coming.
